 Everyone, everyone out there, my new family, my new friends joining us right now on hashtag LNT. I'm super excited, cause you know, hashtag LNT second last episode of the special Ramadan series, episode 29. So what that means, guys, only tonight and tomorrow night for your name to be placed in the draw to win a free trip to Karbala. Now the end of tomorrow night is the final draw. But there's a nice treat for you guys, tomorrow's episode. Whoever participates, simply a call, says Aide Mubarak, you know, wishes us happy Aide. He tells us which episode he likes the most or what he likes the most about LNT, his name we place into the draw. So that's huge. And if they already participated before, like Fazimun and Zakiya and Farhad as easy on all of them, whoever participates again in tomorrow's episode, your name is gonna be placed twice in the fishbowl. So there's a huge chance of you winning. But there's also a huge chance of those who are just calling in saying Aide Mubarak and are like Ahmed Ali because he's an amazing guy. You know, I'll put your name in there too. But let's go jump into what's trending cause tonight we're trying to celebrate. Trying to find out how you celebrate. So let's go and do that. Welcome back everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying their night tonight. But we want to begin off with a huge find that hit the German automobile company, Volkswagen, for, they rigged diesel engines and they got a $1.2 billion fine. Now the penalty was announced on Wednesday and Volkswagen took it like a man and said, you know what, we deserve it. We kind of broke the law. And it's the highest fine for any company to be hit with. You know, it's sad to see I like Volkswagen, hopefully. And that's the boss right there who said it was one of the highest fines ever imposed on a company in Germany. The prosecutor said in a statement. So, you know, they said the sales are going down. So hopefully Volkswagen can recover from that cause you know, I legit like that German company. Anyways, what else is trending? A new billionaire's venture is trying to split California into three states. North, West and Central California. Up to now, the secretary of state, California secretary of state, Mr. Tim Draper, he said, he's trying to get the mid election in November and up to now he has over 400 and 2,000 signatures saying that they have agreed to split California into three states. Is it gonna happen? Is it gonna be a reality? If it does, that's the second time after 1863 when West Virginia was split from the actual Virginia. Now, that's it for what's trending. And you know, for me, California is gonna be California if it had a West, East, whatever. It's still gonna be California. Anyways, let's go jump into what's trending, or not what's traditional. Let's go jump into tonight's topic. Once again, you know, Aid Mubarak in advance to everyone watching us tonight. You know, as of this morning, I started this, this butterfly is wishing me Aid Mubarak as well. But as of, you know, as of this morning, I've been receiving messages, very messages on Aid Mubarak, happy Aid and all that. You know, maybe because I'm famous, but no, no really. Everyone has probably gotten those messages up to now. But that only means one thing. That means that Aid is literally around the corner, because some people are saying it's tomorrow, which is Friday, because we are on Thursday. So people are saying it's Friday. People are yet to say what day it is. So Aid Mubarak in advance to everyone out there. Now, you guys know that Aid Mubarak is the greatest and most delightful celebration of the year for Muslims. If you were to look at statistics on how many Muslims are out there, 1.9 billion Muslims, Baba, we're taking over the world. 1.9 billion Muslims and 1.8 of them, 1.8 billion, they constitute, if you will, or they're from various, you know, if not hundreds of different cultures, backgrounds, races and ethnicities. Now, each race and each ethnicity celebrates Aid differently. Now, tonight, it's a very nice topic. It's not a debatable topic. You know, I'm not gonna have an Egyptian commie who's like, yo, we celebrate with balloons and then the Palestinian call. No, I don't celebrate balloons. I celebrate at the mosque. Whatever, you're not debating tonight. Tonight, what we're trying to say and what we're trying to ask is in three, two, one, hit it. How are you celebrating Aid? Simple question, simple question. Is there anything special you're doing? Are you sleeping in during Aid? Are you fasting during Aid? Although it's Haram, but you know, I hope you're not. But whatever you're doing during Aid, what you have to do is pick up the phone, open WhatsApp, dial that number shown below, plus nine, six, four, seven, seven, four, zero, six, seven, eight, 18, 36, and let us know what you think about or let us know what you're doing and how you're celebrating Aid. Are you taking the wife out? Are you taking the kids out? You know, no girlfriends allowed. Are you buying that nice Louis Vuitton bag for her? Knockoffs, of course, but you know, I'm kidding. You know, how are you celebrating Aid and who you're celebrating with? That's very important for tonight. Now, let's take a quick break, let the guys bring me some water and we'll be back very, very, very short. Welcome back, dear viewers. Now, just to remind everyone, the question is for tonight, how are you celebrating Aid? Now, very simple, very simple. If you're celebrating with your dad, go ahead, if you're celebrating with your mom, with both parents, and hopefully, everyone's celebrating with both parents, if you're celebrating it with whoever, if you're going to a party, Aid party, because one of the things that actually made me funny, made me laugh, is the fact when Ramadan is done, they throw massive Aid parties with DJs and dancing and go to clubs and stuff. What? I don't understand, you spent 30 days fasting and it was like the Quran. Boy, you finished the Quran. And let the Qadr be hitting that Da'a, just the Kabir, breaking your forehead off that turba. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. But you know, not to say everyone, but a lot of people, on Aid, they throw big parties with music and stuff. I don't know why, they're trying to celebrate, but do celebrate it in a good way, you know what I mean? Try to make it like have a halal party, like put Basim and Karbala in this rock to the tune. But Aid Mubarak, Aid, soon you'll be getting those messages and they'll be ransoming your phone. They'll be taking your phone over, you know? And it's nice to see that, because it's nice to see how on a broader level that so many people out there, although it's a broadcast this on WhatsApp, but you're still getting that Aid Mubarak from everyone else, you know? Your phone's gonna be crowded with messages. Now, Aid al-Fattar, for those who don't know what Aid al-Fattar is, it's the end of the 30 day fasting period for Muslims. Aid al-Fattar basically means celebrating the break of the fast. A lot of people, when they read that word, Aid al-Fattar, they think it's only on Aid, but just to disclaimer and just to mention something very quickly, we celebrate Aid al-Fattar on every single day of Ramadan. Iftar, Fattar comes from the word iftar. So basically, or iftar comes from the word Fattar. Anyways, you know what I mean? Every day when you break that fast, you're celebrating. You're feasting. So on Aid, what Muslims do, they feast, but the way and the time they're feasting is during the day. So you're not fasting anymore. That fasting period where you're supposed to not eat, not drink, not do anything else. You're not just restraining yourself from food and drink. You're also not allowed to do certain, you're controlling your hormones is most importantly, especially for the married ones, from sunrise to sunset. Now the exact date of Aid is not set. Today we don't know when Aid is. So tomorrow, inshallah, they're saying that the crescent will be seen, summer's saying won't be seen due to the weather, but tomorrow we'll get the final call out when Aid is, they have to see when the new moon is born. Because you know the Islamic calendar is lunar. Now traditionally, Aid is celebrated around the world from Muslims, Aid is celebrated by three days. It's a holiday, no one goes to work. Everyone just stays at home. They celebrate, they feast, they see each other, they visit one another, even from different countries, they come in to see their parents, they come in to see their family relatives. Now, a lot of Muslims, majority of the Muslims safe to say, on the day of Aid they go to the mosque, they pray, spending day with the family and friends and wishing one another, happy Aid, Aid Mubarak and so on and so forth, blessed Aid for everyone. Now, different cultures celebrate Aid differently. Now in Egypt, they gather on in a mosque, they in a congregational mosque, or right there, see right there, and they have balloons hung from on top of them. Now what happens then is that after prayer, the balloons get released, and whoever catches the balloon wins, wins what, I don't know. But they try to collect as many balloons as possible. They're probably just the idea, you know? So it's pretty nice. Now, some cultures, just like in Singapore, it's a tradition for them that on Aid they go and visit the graves with some flowers in their hand, similar to what people do in Iraq. If you go see the graveyards in Iraq on the day of Aid, the three days of Aid, you'll see it packed. You have to park your car a kilometer or two away and then you have to walk all the way down. So that culture right there is nice because why? They're remembering those who are not there with them on that special day. In Afghanistan, the tradition for them, the parents take their kids out to go play in the playground, have some fun on that day, buy them new clothes, et cetera, et cetera. In India, they have the henna that they put on their hands and feet. Mandi, as Mahendi, it's, Mandi is not like the Yemeni food, Mandi. It's where they put henna on the feet and hand. But one thing to keep in mind on Aid, this one thing, the food and the sweets, you know, you're hitting that baklava at nine a.m., wow. For me, I'm a huge fan of baklava and I don't know who sells baklava like that. I just, for photo, bro, that's just a photo shoot. But, you know, those sweets are deadly, you know. You come back for dinner at your mom or your family or whoever and you see this kind of dish ready for you. It's beautiful. Although that we see this kind of dishes, you know, on a regular day in Ramadan, but in Aid it's different. You get a different feeling because you're eating during the day when you weren't supposed to yesterday. And I mean, so that feeling just runs through you. But all over the world, kids on these days running to their parents, you know, I was one of them. Even up to today, I run to my parents and tell them where's my Aid. And I did that, you know, I go out to my parents and be like, baba, mama, where's my Aid? And I'ma do that, inshallah, tomorrow or the day after. But, you know, when I was little, when I used to go to my parents, you know, they would give me a couple of bucks and it was like, here's your idea. And not saying that my parents are stingy because they bought us presents as well. On Aid, shout out to my parents. I love you guys. You guys are amazing. You know, hopefully we live for another 100 years. But let's see how people around the world are celebrating Aid and how they're celebrating it. So let's go and hit it. Thank you everyone. Tomorrow, inshallah, for Aid, I'll be going out with the family to church or park fishing resort, which is just outside London. Inshallah, we'll be going to fishing. Me and my dad will do some fishing for the family. Set up a big barbecue for the family. Big meal, sofra, and furoche. Inshallah, and I wish everyone the best of Aid. On Aid, I would be going to Brighton or Bournemouth with my family to spend some time together. It's what we are meant to be doing for Aid. And I wish you guys the best Aid this year. Thank you. This Aid, I will be most likely while actually definitely visiting my father and my mother at their house. And I will spend some time with the family, either going to a restaurant or maybe going to a barbecue and having the usual fun that we have every Aid. Happy Aid, everyone. Salamu alaikum. Aid Mubarak and may Allah accept all of your du'az and your amad. This holy blessed month. Inshallah, this year we'll be celebrating Aid al-Futur through Aid Salah prayers as usual in our centers followed by the traditional breakfast at the centers as well. And then heading off to our families, homes and visiting. And there's not really much to do here in Canada unless we have festivals prepared or events organized. So we wait for the weekends for that. But it's always amazing just to be able to be given the opportunity to pray Salat al-Futur with our community and reflecting upon all of our amal this month and what we're going to take moving forward. And of course, after Leal al-Qadir it's starting the new year again. And so what is it that we prayed during that night and how we're going to apply inshallah what we prayed for and how we're going to take that moving forward to the new year. So it's all about that gratitude and that awareness of what Allah has given us during this month and how we can take that on and carry those blessings throughout the whole month inshallah. May God bless you and remember us always in your Dua'z. As-salamu alaikum. Salamu alaikum warahmatullah planning on celebrating Eid, spending time with family and friends, especially those that I haven't seen for a while. And I believe what better time is there to reestablish connections and relationships than the event of Eid al-Futur. An occasion in which we celebrate completing the fasting of one entire month to come by and get together, collect and enjoy each other's company. And that is inshallah what I look forward to spending and celebrating my Eid this Friday. Byidunallah ta'ala. Welcome back dear viewers. Those vocals were just, you know, on point thanks to the graphic designer and the editor that did that, put all of them together. We just read the text message from. Oh Fazi Mun, okay. I really hope those guys that continue joining us and participating in the show get the chance to win, very high chance to win now. I'm going to celebrate Eid with my cousin and her family and I'm going to eat curry, goat, meat, mango, masala, dal, paratha, roti, chana and potato curry, Indian food and lots of Indian sweets. Those Gulab Germans. If you come to Karbala, you have to get some Gulab Germans for hashtag LNC. Thank you. Thank you. You know, and she said wish you can taste this food. It's heaven on earth. Trust me, I've tasted a lot of Indian food and Pakistani food. Amazing food, amazing food. But thank you very much to those who join us from the world telling us how they celebrate Eid. Mainly we had the experts who joined us previously. We had Mrs. Hussain Al-Mathri joining us tonight. Burak Hussain, the Muslim counselor and Sayed Muhammad Hassan from Washington, I'm sorry, from Michigan. Now Zain Ruz, Ruz as in rice or you know, I'm just kidding bro. But first of all, waking up, getting dressed and going to mosque to do namaz Eid and celebrating it with other Muslim brothers. After that, coming home and celebrating it with the family, going to relatives' houses to get Eid too. There will be an Eid festival. Yeah, yeah, I understood that. Everyone knows that. You know, what the co-producer is trying to say is that Eid, according to Zain Ruz, means Eid, it means that, you know, Eid gift, everyone knows that, right? There will be an Eid festival too, so might go there too with siblings, siblings. Thank you very much. Zain Ruz, Zain Ruz. All right, thank you very much Zain Ruz for joining us tonight. Now, we have Mariam, Mariam Ranna, she says, Salamun Aleykum. We stay awake the whole night before Eid, aka Chandra, Chandra decorating our hands and then in the morning we get dressed well and I mostly sleep during the day. Rest of the time, we visit relatives and relatives visit us. We have Eid feasts and then the best part of Eid is Eid, the money, the elders' gift, the younger as a gift. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Mariam Ranna. You know, every Muslim saying today I'm gonna go feast on Eid, you know. We sound like we haven't ate for 30 days, but we eat. Why are you gonna feast? I don't know, but Mariam Dawn Fleming says, I think I need to go to a place where they celebrate Eid. Okay, wow, why? You guys don't celebrate Eid? Where are you from? Let us know where you're from and we'll send you someone to go celebrate it with you. I know I'm kidding. Hashtag LNT team will come to you or if you wanna draw, you're gonna come to hashtag LNT and you're gonna come to Karbala. Now, no, no, your name's already placed in the draw, Mariam Dawn Fleming. Your name is already in the draw. Now, we're getting a few messages, but we'll get to read what's good in the episode for tonight and then we'll come back to read some more Facebook comments and get some messages. Now, if we were to go and look at the significance of Eid and why Eid is so important for all Muslims around the world, Eid and this special celebration is the perfect opportunity for Muslims to reunite their families together. If you're not talking to a sibling for some minor issues or for some issues, just overcome that, try to bring all the family together and try to celebrate it all together because Allah SWT loves those who celebrate it together. Now, it's another perfect opportunity to return to Allah SWT and say to Allah that you know what, these 30 days I stayed clean, I changed myself, I disciplined myself, I became a better person. So in return, I ask Allah SWT or you should ask Allah SWT to shower you with his blessings and mercy because honestly, this whole month was a month of blessings and mercy to everyone. Now, really speaking, if we were to go to the Islamic perspective of Eid and how people in Islam would or should or how they are recommended to celebrate Eid. Now, there's one mandatory thing to do on Eid, one mandatory deed and that's zakat al-fitr. Now, zakat al-fitr means you give the portion of money or three kilograms of flour or you give the equivalent money to those three kilograms to the poor. That's the responsibility of the head of the home. So the father, the husband is responsible to take that out and give to the poor and it differs from country to country and the U.S. differs from the U.K. and so on and so forth. In Iraq, it's al-fonos or al-forbua, that's like what, a dollar or a dollar 20 cents, which is not a lot for someone to give and three kilograms per person. So if you have like what, 20 children, you're paying, no, you're, 60, 60 kilograms. So in Iraq, we call it aguniyye. You're paying 60 kilograms of flour to the poor but it's a nice way to give back to the poor. Now, what else is special about Eid? It's very nice to see that, you know what, not just the family is celebrating it together, especially in Middle Eastern countries. We see families coming in and out of each other's or friends or neighbors visiting their other neighbors, trying to celebrate Eid, trying to bring that smile to everyone around them, whether they're neighbors, whether they're far relatives, simple text message to someone that you know, which we just received one right now, would make the day of that person. But we see the text message from Asma Mahdi. What does she say? We are celebrating Eid with my family. We pray for all Muslims and especially Ta'ajil Imam Zamanah. The day of celebration includes especially, especially gifts are given out to the poor. Thank you very much, Asma Mahdi from India. Now, I'll just repeat what I said earlier on in the episode. I said, whoever tomorrow is the final day. Do you have your names placed in this fish bowl? So tomorrow we're giving a special chance for everyone to participate. And whoever participated, your chance to participate again. So again, for those who participated, second chance to put their names in here. And for those who haven't participated yet, all you have to do is call us, send us a text message, a voice message, and let us know how you're, let us know by saying Eid Mubarak. This is the first option you have, Eid Mubarak. Which episode do you like the most about hashtag LNT? The second option is Eid Mubarak and letting us know what your favorite part of hashtag LNT is. So general, specific. Which one do you want? And the lines will be open from the beginning of the episode all the way until the end, where we have just to put the names and do the final draw. So we won't have a topic, just it's for you guys. So you guys have the chance to celebrate it with us. Now, recommended, we talked about the mandatory, the recommended is ghusl. You guys all know what ghusl is, you do it after you know what. Wearing new clothes, it's nice looking, clean, smelling clean, perform prayer of Eid, it's highly mustahab. Residing Ziyar of Imam Hussain A.S. Very, very mustahab, very recommended for those living abroad, for those living in Iraq or especially in Karbalaq. You'll see Karbalaq packed on a day of Eid. Residing Dua'a and Nidbah is also important to remember. Imam al-Zaman, I do not know if I'm sure. But on behalf of hashtag LNT, the 22nd last episode of the Ramadan series. After Ramadan, hashtag LNT will go back to its original time. 10.30, after Ramadan. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. So keep that in mind. No one forget that.
